A Sampler of International Media and Communication Statistics 2010
The contemporary media culture raises more complex issues than ever before. Digital technologies, and advances of media such as the Internet, have driven the development. In this changing media landscape, traditional media, such as television, radio and newspapers, remain powerful, but their preconditions are affected.
A History of the Press in Sweden
The twentieth publication in the series Sylwan, can be considered to be the final building block in that intellectual edifice. It describes the history of the Swedish press that earlier was presented in four volumes plus an index (2000-2003), as well as in all the nineteen previous publication in the Sylwan series.
Media Mergers and the Defence of Pluralism
Media mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have been, and continue to be, a salient feature of Nordic media markets. What once was a very fragmented and diverse industry is today consolidated to such a degree that many fear for the effects on pluralism. Internet is today the turbo charger of this process.
Media operate on a commercial market and have to survive on its terms. On the other hand, as purveyors of information and ideas, they are different from manufactured goods and services. The book springs out of this duality.
The Digital Public Sphere: Challenges for Media Policy
Until recently, media policy was thought of as national, media-specific, and as part of the cultural domain. All is changing in a digital public sphere: first, by the processes of globalization in a broad sense; second, by a blurring of borders between media, which can be summed up as convergence; and third, by a more far-reaching commercialisation of the media. The transformation triggered by these developments are ongoing and have been so for quite a few years. Thus, it is time to take stock. The different contributions in this book set out to do that.
Children and Youth in the Digital Media Culture: From a Nordic Horizon
The Clearinghouse on Children Youth and Media has published eleven yearbooks to date. In them, researchers and experts from all the corners of the world have treated a wide variety of issues from many different perspectives. The global dimension is a core principle in the work of the Clearinghouse with respect to both the content we publish and distribute and the contributors who produce it. This, the twelfth Yearbook, represents a departure from that hallowed principle of global representation.
Nordiska public service-medier i den digitala mediekulturen: Pengar, politiken och publiken
I de nordiska länderna har utvecklats public service-modeller som karakteriseras av det faktum att de nordiska länderna är små länder med en relativt liten befolkning. När modeller för public service-medier diskuteras är det ofta brittiska BBC som står i förgrunden, men det är få förunnat att idag ha BBC som en realistisk modell för uppbyggnad av public service-medier. Istället eftersöks modeller från ’små’ länder som är väl prövade. De nordiska ländernas public service-medier blir därmed av stort intresse utifrån ett globalt perspektiv.
Communicating the Nation: National Topographies of Global Media Landscapes
The nation is one of the most resilient concepts in our understanding of the world and its societies. Politics, sports and cultural events, in news as well as in fiction, are largely structured by the national logic. Internationalism – be it in representation, production or consumption – does not challenge the privileged position of the nation. Globalising processes do offer an alternative to the primacy of the nation, but have so far been unable to overcome its dominance.

Den skandinaviske krimi: Bestseller og blockbuster
Hvilke fællestræk har skandinaviske krimier? Hvorfor er de interessante både for et nordisk publikum og for et internationalt? Er der bestemte, typiske træk i deres samfundsforståelse, deres fremstilling af mandlige og kvindelige karakterer, i deres reception og funktion? Den skandinaviske krimi er bredt eksponeret via flere medier – som bog, på film, som tv-serie, som computerspil og på diverse hjemmesider på internettet. Tilstedeværelsen i det ene medie forstærker interessen i det andet.
The Public in Public Service Media: RIPE@2009
The importance of reconceptualising what public service broadcasting [PSB] should be and do in the 21st century is a profile issue in media policy and strategic development planning. There is growing recognition that public participation is a necessary if problematic aspect of the transition to public service media [PSM]. This recognition correlates with a deepening understanding that the viability of the enterprise depends on the people paying for it and using its services.
The Emerging Media Toddlers
Interest in babies’, toddlers’ and preschoolers’ media use has grown during recent years, not least within the media industry, which sees possibilities to extend its market by also addressing these already existing and, compared to a few decades ago, previous future consumers. Many families contribute to this process through their own media use as well as by giving electronic and digital media devices to their young children – television sets, computers, music equipment, video games, etc.

En översikt som redovisar statistik rörande de ungas medievanor i den digitala tidsåldern avslutar boken.

Young People, ICTs and Democracy: Theories, Policies, Identities, and Websites
The rhetoric on the Internet and its potential implications for the sphere of politics have been especially pertinent in regard to young people. Through the use of notions such as ”the e-generation” or ”the messenger generation”, the new ICT’s supposed transformative potential has been identified and discussed. Just based on the title of this book, it might seem as if we are offering a similar approach here – speculative reflections on the significance of the Internet for young people’s engagement and participation.
Youth Engaging With the World: Media, Communication and Social Change

After the Tsunami: Crisis Communication in Finland and Sweden
The tsunami disaster in Southeast Asia during Christmas 2004 caused many deaths among vacationers from Finland and Sweden. It could be described as one of the worst catastrophes experienced during the post-war period in these countries. This book examines how this dramatic and unexpected event affected public communication patterns and practices in countries like Finland and Sweden. The communicative relations between government actors, the media and citizens always significantly affect the development of crucial democratic values such as trust, accountability and legitimacy.
Nye udfordringer for gamle medier: Skandinavisk public service i det 21. århundrede
Begrebet public service blev lanceret som fællesbetegnelse for organisering af almene goder, f.eks. vandforsyning, kloakvæsen og andre tjenester, der stilles til rådighed for alle borgere. For radiofoniens vedkommende legitimerede knaphed på sendefrekvenser i sin tid virksomheden som et licensfinansieret monopol.
